The Verifiers

內容簡介

內容簡介 從一開始，她就沒打算走上家裡為她鋪好的路... 亞裔背景的Claudia Lin收到Veracity錄取的通知，讓Claudia喜不自勝！能在這家專為線上交友網站做會員身份查核工作，對她這個熟讀珍‧奧斯汀作品又是重度推理小說迷來說，簡直就是美夢成真！ 誰知，不久後，一位古怪的會員離奇失蹤，Claudia違背公司規範，私自進行調查。一場未知的風暴即將朝Claudia席捲而來…… Introducing Claudia Lin: a sharp-witted amateur sleuth for the 21st century. This debut novel follows Claudia as she verifies people’s online lives, and lies, for a dating detective agency in New York City. Until a client with an unusual request goes missing …Claudia is used to disregarding her fractious family’s model-minority expectations: she has no interest in finding either a conventional career or a nice Chinese boy. She’s also used to keeping secrets from them, such as that she prefers girls—and that she’s just been stealth-recruited by Veracity, a referrals-only online-dating detective agency. A lifelong mystery reader who wrote her senior thesis on Jane Austen, Claudia believes she’s landed her ideal job. But when a client vanishes, Claudia breaks protocol to investigate—and uncovers a maelstrom of personal and corporate deceit. Part literary mystery, part family story, The Verifiers is a clever and incisive examination of how technology shapes our choices, and the nature of romantic love in the digital age.A VINTAGE ORIGINAL."
